For the case of two light flavors we propose the stringy description of the system consisting of two heavy and three light quarks, with the aim of exploring the quark organization inside the system and its low-lying Born-Oppenheimer…
We propose a collective stringlike model of pentaquarks with the geometry of an equilateral tetrahedron in which the four quarks are located at the four corners and the antiquark in its center. The nonplanar equilibrium configuration is a…
Despite the apparent simplicity of meson spectroscopy there are some states which cannot be accommodated in the usual $q\bar q$ structure. Among them there are either exotic states as the X(1600) or the recently measured charm states…
The hidden-charm pentaquark states $P_{c\bar{c}}\left(4312\right)^+$, $P_{c\bar{c}}\left(4380\right)^+$, $P_{c\bar{c}}\left(4440\right)^+$, and $P_{c\bar{c}}\left(4457\right)^+$, all with isospin $I = 1/2$, were discovered by the LHCb…
Within the diquark-antidiquark framework, this study investigates the masses of ground-state tetraquarks composed of heavy charm ($c$) and bottom ($b$) quarks and antiquarks, using the Bethe-Salpeter formalism. We establish the…
We discuss the properties of the pentaquark in a collective stringlike model with a nonplanar configuration of the four quarks and the antiquark. In an application to the mass spectrum of exotic Theta baryons, we find that the ground state…

The possibility that leptons, quarks or both might be highly relativistic bound states of a spin-0 and spin-1/2 constituent bound by minimal electrodynamics is discussed. Typically, strongly bound solutions of the Bethe-Salpeter equation…
We consider decays of the lowest-lying radially excited baryons. Assuming a single-quark decay approximation, and negligible configuration mixing, we make model-independent predictions for the partial decay widths to final states with a…
We study the possibility that at least one of the two pentaquark structures recently reported by LHCb can be described as a compact pentaquark state, and we give predictions for new channels that can be studied by the experimentalists if…
Strange hidden-charm pentaquark states have been systematically investigated within a diquark-triquark model. Through a Gaussian expansion method, masses of some diquarks, triquarks and strange hidden-charmed pentaquark states from S-wave…
We present arguments regarding diquarks possible role in low-energy hadron phenomenology that escaped theorists' attention so far. Good diquarks, i.e. the $0^{+}$ states of two quarks, are argued to have a two-component structure with one…
The LHCb collaboration reported a fully charmed tetraquark state X(6900) in the invariant mass spectrum of $J/\psi$ pairs in 2020. This discovery inspires us to further study the fully heavy pentaquark system. In this work, we investigate…
In this article, we introduce a relative P-wave to construct the doubly-charm axialvector diquark operator, then take the doubly-charm axialvector (anti)diquark operator as the basic constituent to construct the scalar and tensor tetraquark…
We study the weak decays of exotic tetraquark states ${b\bar c}{q\bar q}$ with two heavy quarks. Under the SU(3) symmetry for light quarks, these tetraquarks can be classified into an octet plus a singlet: $3\bigotimes\bar 3=1\bigoplus8$.…
Spectrum of the low-lying hidden- and double-charm tetraquark states are investigated in a nonrelativistic quark potential model, where the Instanton-induced interaction is taken as the residual spin-dependent hyperfine interaction between…
Using the SU(3) flavor symmetry, we construct the chiral Lagrangians for the light and heavy pentaquarks. The correction from the nonzero quark is taken into account perturbatively. We derive the Gell-Mann$-$Okubo type relations for various…

We consider decays of the hidden charm LHCb pentaquarks in the hadrocharmonium and molecular scenarios. In both pictures the LHCb pentaquarks are essentially nonrelativistic bound states. We develop a semirelativistic framework for…
Based on the fact that the long expected pentaquark which possesses the exotic quantum numbers of $B=1$ and $S=1$ was not experimentally found, although exotic states of $XYZ$ have been observed recently, we conjecture that the heavy…
